going to get sick of dealing with it. Some already have.
Have we run out of people yet and are we likely to?
I give it 12-24 months as a ballpark estimate before we're seriously
short if action isn't taken. Maybe less -- the problem is only getting
worse.
Even if we manage break even in our supply of people willing to spend
large swaths of time performing thankless tasks for no compensation,
it's most definitely the wrong approach. Instead of building a large and
expanding base of volunteers, we'd be struggling to maintain the status quo.
Two choices:
1) Collateral damage.
2) Worthless encyclopedia.
Anyone that blames us for choosing the first over the second is not
worth worrying about.
You can't prove the second and you have failed to show that there are
only two options.
Can you come up with a practical third?
